Good collection of short love stories by some known & new authors. Enjoyed
August 5, 2018
This was sooo good!!
It's hard to choose which short story I enjoyed the most. All of then were sexy, sensual, deep, spiritual, and full of love. Normally I dislike short stories because they leave me wanting more. These left me completely satisfied with how each story ended. Maybe short stories aren't bad!!

I loved this book all the stories was equally amazing and I definitely wanted more from each one. This book collectively was great but the authors individually are quite amazing and I love all their works.

Loved em all
Wwoooooowwww you all did not come to play at all!
Chasing Empty Hearts × Chelsea Maria: Chris and Siyanda were able to give each other something neither of them ever had. I kinda saw the ending coming tho. Still loved every page.
Love's Imperfect Pitch × A. Jones: I loved Bash and Dya! Bash was everything that Dya was missing and more. I would love a short story or book on Dro and Rina.
Love Me When It Hurts × ShanicexLola: I loved the raw and realness of Krista and Dade's story. Postpartum is real! I'm glad that Dade was supportive and didn't shun Krista for how she was feeling.
Meditate On My Heart × Alexis Cñe: I'm glad Anya could be the push Jahseh needed to end a toxic situation.
Love Is All We Need × A. Marie Jones: This was probably my favorite of them all. Keanu was not playing with Mi. I understand why he did things the way he did. He wanted what was best for her although she couldn't see it.

Love in Shorts
I enjoyed every story from the front to the back! Each writer had their own style and love connection! Nice collection in one place!

I need more.
Great job ladies. Oh how I wish the stories were longer. Each story was beautifully written, and a pleasure to read. 2 of the authors were new to me, but have sparked some interest. Great shorts

Very nice
I liked this anthology. The stories were short and straight to the point. I got to read work by a few authors whose work I hadn’t read previously. Good work. ❤️

Excellent short stories!!!
I enjoyed every story but they were just getting good and ended. I could've kept reading each one. I guess the best thing that came out of this read is I've found some great new authors to connect with. Great anthologies ladies! I will find and read your full novels!

Love is All we Have
I enjoyed each and every one of the short stories in this anthology. B. Love and her roster of authors ate a force to be reckoned with.

I know it was stated we would not get more from these characters, but I need more! Chelsea Maria you are so wrong for that ending. I enjoyed these novellas.

Wow! I know we were warned ahead of time that this is an anthology filled with short stories that will leave us wanting more, but dang! I needed just a few more chapters on a couple of these shorts, especially on Chasing Empty Hearts by Chelsea Maria. That ending seriously left me speechless. I don't even know where to begin with how much I enjoyed reading about Cyrus and Siyanda, and to say I wanted more is an understatement! I really hope Chelsea Maria expands on this because it was a great read and I can see the storyline continuing in so many different directions.
Love's Imperfect Pitch by A. Jones was a super sweet read. I adored the way Sebastian pushed Aadya to go after her dreams, and I really fell in love with him when he told her "Love is compassion and vulnerability. Love is making sure your partner is satisfied and not left in need. Love isn't self-seeking. Love is passion. Love has the ability to heal everything that fear has tried to destroy. Even with all of that, love still isn't easily explained, because it's meant to be experienced, to be lived." Can we say swoon worthy?! He was such a great man and even though their ending was perfect and cute, I certainly wouldn't mind seeing more of them.
Love is All We Need by A. Marie Johnson was the last story in the collection and what a great way to end it. Her story gave me a few surprises because just when I thought I knew where it was going it took a different direction. The chemistry between Keanu and Jamila was so explosive I was literally able to feel it through the pages! I would've loved to know more about their backstory/future and would love to have more of him period because he really made me laugh, swoon, scream and more.
Overall, this was a pretty good anthology altogether but those three stories really did it for me. Great job ladies of B. Love Publications! Hope to have more.

Anthologies are always a hit or miss. You're not going to like every single story. Love Is All We Have is okay. There are 5 short stories. I liked only 3 of them. Not bad. My comments as I read each one are below:
Love Is All We Need - Loved this one the most. A lot was packed into a short story. Loved Jamilla and Keanu. This has potential to be a novel. I hope it becomes one.
Meditate on my Heart - Did not like"
Also - "Why is everybody in this book 27 years old???
"Love Me When It hurts - tackles PPD. Couple has 6 week.old twins. Heroine is having a hard time. Super supportive husband. Short novella with just a peek into the characters lives. This would make a great book. Not many romances out there about married couples going through it.
"Love's Imperfect Pitch- Good story. Liked the characters. Ends with HFN. Fade to Black sex scene. Boo! 👎🏽 Kind of mushy gushy but it was cool."
"Chasing Empty Hearts- had potential. Story didn't flow well. Missing pieces caused confusion. Seemed like the author assumes the reader knows what is going on. that would be a No. Ends in a cliffhanger. No HEA."

Great stories
This anthology started off with a bang. Cyrus definitely made an impression. Each story teaches the reader something, whether it's how to cope with depression, listening to your heart, standing in your own way, the list goes on. Each author displayed their talent in unique ways. Each story was different, but the theme of love and the different faces it takes on was on display very well.

So, Chelsea is just going to do us like that? She had us on the edge of our seats and then left us with our mouths open. Each of these stories were unique and grabbed your attention immediately. I love the topics that were covered as well. My favorite was probably A. Marie’s with Keanu and Jamila. He was the truth and didn’t play about the love of his life. His loyalty to her was beautiful.

Perfect
I know many people don’t appreciate short stories but I’m not one of those people. As long as they have a beginning, middle, and end, it’s perfect. These were beautiful and amazing!

Well done..
Good job to all the ladies. Each story had its own feeling that pulls you right in. Of course I could go for an update on each but I know that’s neither here nor there. Hopefully there will be more anthologies to come. Like maybe a Christmas special. 😉
